Heritage Malta is offering an opportunity to enjoy the cultural and natural heritage in the vicinity of Għar Dalam Cave in a different atmosphere and to sleep in the open air in a safe and tranquil environment from Saturday 11th August to the following Sunday morning.
The participants will walk through Wied Dalam valley to the remains of a Roman villa and underground cistern of Ta’ Kaċċatura, as well as cart-ruts, tombs and a dolmen. In the vicinity one also finds Casa Ipolitto, a derelict 17th Century farmhouse.
Participants will also be able to visit the bronze age temple of Borġ in-Nadur and Għar Dalam Cave. Along the way, participants will learn about the night fauna of the Maltese islands, such as bats and moths while listening to the sounds made by various species of crickets.
Refreshments, in the form of a light evening meal and breakfast, will be served.
